I didn't watch this in its entirety, but how can that plane generate enough life to stay airborne?

That is an incredible story!

What I've always found amazing is the pilot's intuition to put it into full throttle. The plane's wings have a large surface area, so even with one missing the high speeds allowed it to stay in the air. But without knowing that your wing is missing, what would make you put it at full throttle and land at such a fast speed? Really amazing.
